[QUOTE="letstalk, post: 17826070, member: 400726"] [SIZE=5]The 903 Bus Line and The Moroccan Singer Man[/SIZE] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0387.JPG"]344660[/ATTACH] I found the 903 bus line unique and fascinating. Everyday this bus connects the village to the city and the city to the village. The starting point of this bus line was Sidi Moussa Ben Ali which is a village. However, the ending point of this exact same bus line was Mohammedia Train Station which is a city that is part of greater Casablanca region. The 903 bus ticket cost six dirhams per one fare for one person and one ride. By the law, you must enter the bus from the front door and exit it from the back door. You may get a fine if you do not abide by this rule. The rear door had one monitoring camera for safety purposes, I guess, and it seemed to me the camera was working. The bus had many yellow buttons for requesting a stop but nobody were using it. To request a stop hardly knock on the back door glass with your hand. The bus driver will know and stop for you but you have to do it ahead of time. The bus driver will not bother you if you choose to ride his bus without paying. However, if you got caught by a bus controller, fine will be 35 dirhams per unpaid rider. The 903 bus line had 28 stops. It seemed to me 12 of them were in the urban area and the rest in the rural area. The majority of the 903 bus stops were not clearly indicated to public. No signs could tell from where to get on the bus. No bus stop shelters were there neither. You will be guessing and asking people when riding this bus line the first time which was real fun for me and wonderful experience ever. The funniest thing happed when the bus tried to cross the bridge that connects the urban side to the rural. The bridge street was narrow and not wide enough for two big vehicles like the 903 bus and a truck to use it at the same time. The bus driver and all vehicles behind him had to reverse going backward letting more spaces for the truck who was already engaged on the bridge from the opposite side. Under the bridge was the highway that connects Rabat to Casablanca. It had a lot of traffic and its lanes were marked, wide, and spacious. Hopefully soon this bridge will be rebuilt with bigger marked lanes and all kind of vehicles will drive through it simultaneously. In the bus I was seated near window. I enjoyed everything I was seeing until the bus stopped near one of the [URL='https://www.bladi.info/threads/bmce-bank-of-africa-worst-bank-ever.538686/']Bank of Africa branches[/URL]. Believe me I had a nausea feeling and an immense dislike sensation that were covering all me. At that moment I remembered how bad the service of this bank was. I remembered the lies, unclear, and misleading information that were told to me repeatedly by these bank people. I remembered all the faces of the people who were only good at performing a ploy. I remembered I was scammed. I was hoping the bus will move quickly from this location but it did not. The bus driver was waiting for a man to get on. This man was a busking man or street entertainment man. He plays and sings music for public. The Moroccan busking man was not young but relatively old. He had a white beard and was wearing a hat. He was holding something very special. A musical instrument. By the time he began playing and singing my mood magically shifted and my anger was gone and I became me again. His lively song was pleasing to hear and music to everyone ears. Everyone in the bus was enjoying it even the bus driver because I noticed he was not going heavy on the break pedal and shaking the bus like before when he stopped. Everyone including me offered some money to Moroccan busking man. He sounded happy and left the 903 bus with a smile. [/QUOTE]
